Liars. Do not pay on time. Will ask you to haul illegal loads, will ask you to Dr your logs and commit hos violations. Bow barely speaks English and yet is dispatch. This leads to him becoming angry when you don't understand his gibberish. Will leave you stranded for days if you refuse a load.are notorious for running out of money on the fuel cards in the middle of the night and won't answer phones! Will always put the brokers, shippers and receivers ahead of the drivers and will never get you detention pay at all even if you sit for days! They will infringe their Islamic beliefs upon you with snide little remarks, and will leave you stranded and or in a state of emergency and put theit religious customs first while your stranded on the side of the highway! Be careful with these people, they have no respect for out culture and they have no problem showing it!
I applied for a positition as a Company Drive. A complete backgroud check was done. I was approved for hire and flown from Louisville, KY to Cedar Rapids, IA. Upon Arriving I found that everyone was polite friendly, and curtious. I took my drug test and finished the required orientation training. Then came the paperwork.
Immediately I was alarmed and puzzled by the fact that I had to fill out a W-9 tax for (for Independent Contractors), and asked to sign a document stating that they offered no garantees of any kind. I had a problem with both of these. They tried to tell me that a Company driver and an Independent Contracor are the same thing. I have been in this profession for nearly 30 years and have been an Independant Contractor and a Company Driver and they are nowhere near the same.
They wanted to pay me a Company Driver's rate under an Independent Contractor's Status (0.48cpm) after telling me that I would be paid 0.50cpm as a Company Driver because I was a Military Veteran. I don't know of an Independent Contractor who works for less than 0.62cpm. The IC has no company benefits, no workers comp, no unemployement insurance, or any of the perks offered to a Company Driver, that would be the reason for the higher rate paid to the IC.
Secondly; This no garanteeof any kind document. They did offer (over the phone) a 400 mile per day garantee as long you had the hours to drive it, but they refuse to put that in writing period. Mind you, I went to IA on 03/16/20 for this job. When I started questioning them about the pay and the garantee, a report that they had had recieved on 3/12/20 claiming I had a violation for a company I never worked for showed up.
I'm not saying that they made up the report by any means, (I even filed a dispute against the company that put the bad information on my DAC Report. My point is that they waited until I challenged the contract before they brought it to my attention. After that, they decided not to hire me and left me stranded homeless in Cedar Rapids Iowa 500+ miles away from my home in Louisville, KY and refused to get me back home.
